    I can type really really fast with my eyes closed, its not an amazing super power but I imagine it would be useful if I ever have to type my way out of a really really bad situation.

    I can go downstairs at JUST the right time for the toast to pop, or the microwave to ping, every single time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,301 ✭✭✭The One Who Knocks


    Oh yeah, I can hum with my mouth open & sing with it closed!

    I never get sick. Ever.

    Haven't vomited from illness once in my life (couldn't say the same about the drink though! :D )


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,753 ✭✭✭Vito Corleone


    I can make a fart noise with my hands.

    Photographic memory, never found a real use for it though..

    I've always wondered what it's like to have a photographic memory.

    Can you like read a book and just recall and understand it?

    Would be really handy!

    Falling over backwards without spilling my pint.

    I can wiggle my nose in a weird up and down one nostril at a time kind of way.

    No matter whether I'm aware of a picture being taken of me or not, I can manage to always pull an embarrassing face any time a camera is pointed my way.

    I can hold my pee for a REALLY long time without any discomfort.

    Go to the nearest hospital. Start licking the walls. Report back here.

    emm, I can reach down to the bottom of a Pringles tube...?


    ..I have small hands..

    Would you say you'd be able to grab hold of a bottle top stuck deep inside the pringles tube ?

    and pull it out very gently.

    I can put a fruit pastille in me mouth without chewing it. ;)

    I'm calling bull$hit on that, Banjo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 243 ✭✭Lukehandypants


    I have the powers of Transubstantiation.
    Pretty good one to have handy for parties and masses.


  • Site Banned Posts: 141 ✭✭BeerFear


    I can smell if im close to à girl(within 2 metres) if she likes me or not. Handy to get the ride.

    Three superpowers, two useful, the other one completely useless.

    I’m a genius at parking and reversing, especially with trailers.

    I can remember words I learned in a foreign language that I don’t speak, even from ages ago. I can still remember the Croatian phrases I used ten years ago, even though I don’t speak Croatian.

    I can tell at a glance how many letters are in a word, within reason i.e. not antidisestablishmentarianism.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,652 ✭✭✭I am pie


    Doctorate in dossing, 3rd dan procrastinator and general heightened powers of work evasion.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 637 ✭✭✭ruthloss


    I can spend money "like it's going out of style"., apparently. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭dockleaf


    I can go into any clothes shop and immediately like the most expensive thing in the shop, without looking at price tags. :(

    Animals always like me, although its not really reciprocated. I grew up on a farm so for me, any animal is just one step away from being my next meal.

    I am very good at herding cattle ( right to the deep freeze). And I am very strong for a woman, although I have never weight trained. Even though I am slim and not very muscly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,736 ✭✭✭Gannicus


    I can vibrate my tongue and I don't mean in the way where I stick my tongue out and go bpbpbpbpbpbpbpbft getting spit everyhere.

    I stick it in between my lips and let it vibrate.

    I can for some unbeknownst reason to myself can sing along to songs by artists I've never heard of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,764 ✭✭✭mickstupp


    I can wiggle my ears.

    And according to everyone else, my handwriting looks like a sort of indecipherable and tiny secret code, therefore I am a spy.

    My superpower is to make everyone I love smile.

    I am very good a figuring out problems and fixing them, even if I have no idea of what exactly I am doing. Take for example muscle strains, I have no training in massage therapy but I can always find the cause of the problem and at the least relieve the pain and in most cases sort out the problem.

    I also have a knack with electrical and mechanical things, I can just figure them out and fix them.

    When my wife was in labour with our first child, the pipe for the Entonox gas wasn't working and I was able to fix it, hadn't a breeze what I was doing but still managed to fix it.
